Cabinet Tip Screwdrivers
Cabinet Tip Screwdrivers for Recessed Screws
A cabinet tip screwdriver has a slotted tip the same width as its shank, with no flare. It reaches screws sunk in counterbored holes and terminal blocks without scarring the wall of the hole. This collection carries Klein Tools cabinet tips in 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 inch, heavy-duty and pocket-clip versions, and Milwaukee 3/16 and 1/4 inch drivers, including Made in the USA cushion grip models. Stanley FATMAX and a Wera Kraftform Kompakt VDE set round it out.
What to Look For
- Tip width. Match the tip to the slot. A tip that is too narrow slips and chews the screw head.
- Shank length. 3 and 4 inch shanks suit panels and devices. 6 to 10 inch shanks reach deep into equipment.
- Insulation. Milwaukee 1000V insulated, Klein insulated, and Wera VDE models are made for work near live circuits.
- Set or single. Klein and Milwaukee 2- and 4-piece sets pair a cabinet tip with Phillips or square tips.

Cabinet Tip Screwdrivers FAQ
What is the difference between a cabinet tip and a keystone tip?
A keystone tip flares wider than the shank for more torque on exposed slotted screws. A cabinet tip stays the same width as the shank so it fits down into a recess. Electricians often carry both.
Which size cabinet tip should I start with?
A 3/16-inch cabinet tip handles most electrical terminals and device screws. Add a 1/8-inch tip for small terminals and a 1/4-inch tip for larger slotted screws.
